Project Pack

This project pack gives a stimulating way to explore global issues through materials and activities. For many years, the City of Dundee in Scotland imported raw jute from Dhaka and other cities in Bangladesh.

There were many benefits for Dundee which profited from processing (spinning and weaving) this jute. Cities in Bangladesh remained poor.

Even in Dundee, the life of the mille workers was hard and they were very badly paid. So the inequalities were pronounced even during the days when jute was a highly profitable industry.

These inequalities persist to this day and the "Dhaka to Dundee" resource pack covers this and other issues. Although written for use in Scottish primary schools it is readily adaptable to other age groups and areas.
